KELTY HEARTS have been drawn to play Ayr United in the fourth round of the men's Scottish Gas Scottish Cup.
Michael Tidser's side, who were number 20 in this evening's draw, were second out of the hat and have been rewarded for their win at Hamilton Academical yesterday with a tie against the Championship side at Somerset Park.
Second half goals from Reece Lyon and Lewis Moore gave the New Central Park outfit a fine 2-0 success at their League One rivals, and they will now meet Lee Bullen's Honest Men for the first time.
